Following these instructions destroyed the `which` command completely.
Any instructions on how to fix a missing /bin/which?
@Martijn
Hello!
The steps from the resolution recreate the link to /bin/which and there are not steps which may delete /bin/which.
As a solution for your case, I can suggest installing "which". As an example, for CentOS the command will be:
# yum install which
Hello,
i get an error when I run the plesk repair mail command:
ERR [util_exec] proc_close() failed ['/opt/psa/admin/bin/mchk'] with exit code [1
Checking for: mail_dk_restore ... fail
Errors occured in mail restore procedure
Some utilities have exited with errors:
/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/mail_dk_restore
But I can not find anything in the log files and can not find any instructions in the forum.

To get additional details about this error, it is required to check /var/log/plesk/panel.log. This error is indeed a new one, it was not reported previously, so it may be required to investigate it on a Plesk side. Consider submitting a support request to Plesk directly or to a reseller, depending on where the license was purchased.
